So in that sense, it's sort of better, but then the stuff they add to make the story coherent are often not the most interesting things about the movie. At some times it almost feels like it wants to be part of the Terminator franchise REALLY badly?


I started to think about it kind of like a podcast, I just had it on in the background and would occasionally look up and go, "wow, that's what's going on right now?"


Also, WW84 really hurts this movie retroactively because you just can't unsee how mismanaged this version of her character is. She's clinically insane! And since there's more exposition and down time, Gadot's gotta do more than look stoic and cock her head to the side and she's not much good at that.


All that said, if you're a fan of a hot mess, this mess is super hot. The original is probably still a better "I just gotta feel lousy and watch some trash" watch but there's a ...charm?... to what Snyder's got going on here. There's a lot of unintentional comedy, sometimes even when they're going for comedy!
